I didn`t know about that before the invasion.
I felt conned.
We are about to find out whether we, the citizens of the West, have learnt anything from the Iraq fiasco.
The powers-that-be are busy laying the ground for a re-run of the Iraq fiasco with only the location changed - to the country next door, Iran. All the other trappings - dubious allegations of WMDs, selective interpretations and applications of international law, the imposition of crippling sanctions to soften up the 'enemy', circulation of false and misleading 'intelligence' to deceive the public, the wholesale demonising of Iran, the neo cons and the Israel lobby braying for 'action' (read: war) and so on - are already in place.
Are the peoples of the West about to be conned again? Are Middle Eastern people about to be slaughtered in their tens of thousands again? Who stands to gain from this new round of war mongering? Will the outcome of this 'war for peace' (sic) be as disastrous as the last one?
While I agree with most of what you said I think it is disinguous to portray the "middle east" as inactive in this. There is every reason to believe that Egypt, Turkey, and the House of Saud would like nothing better than for us to take on Iran.
Just as with Iraq. There are dirty hands there too.................
